It's an act of self-protection. I'm not anti-advertising. I'm anti-running-untrusted-software on my property. If they had stuck to adwords and static images with no invasive tracking I'd let their ads run. But the surveillance capitalists can't help themselves and want to run their 50MB spyware payload on my computer. I say no to that garbage.
- ceejayoz 7mo agoPrecisely this. The industry has themselves to blame.
- coliveira 7mo agoCorrect. Google had initially a good program that was based on keywords and non-intrusive ads. They killed that in the pursuit of more profits.
- BLKNSLVR 7mo agoA grand failure on behalf of society is that this was a good business decision (it succeeded at improving their profits) because it has faced effectively zero governmental intervention despite the fact it is used as a foundation for the launch of a million scams.
